Weird, I originally had a normal XP pro key and disc.....then after all the times of formatting/re-installing etc I got sick of it so got a XP w/ SP2 ISO and my key works perfect on it..

Iv'e always believed it was a Windows release, but I could be wrong...is there any way to find out whether it is slipstreamed or proper?

TBH i dont know. All a slipstreamed disc is, is XP with additional service packs added etc
